[mythtv-users] Problems starting backend

It seems that it was really annoyed that the mythtv-backend.conf used:

nice -5 LANG=$LANG  ...

Instead of:

LANG=$LANG nice -5 ...

Here is my modified mythtv-backend.conf file:

script
         ulimit -c unlimited
         test -f /etc/default/locale && . /etc/default/locale || true
echo    nice -5 LANG=$LANG /usr/bin/mythbackend --syslog local7 --user 
mythtv >>/tmp/myth.service.log
         LANG=$LANG nice -5 /usr/bin/mythbackend --syslog local7 --user 
mythtv
end script


I'm need to go to bed. I'll double check my claim tomorrow and follow up 
with an update.
